Battle Bots Battle Bots
Using very advanced LEGO® parts and pieces, students learn to design and build their own motorized battle cars and other vehicles. By using principles of simple and complex machines, gearing, and mechanical advantage, students then try flip, push, or smash their opponent’s battle vehicles. Brain over brawn through applied physics. Each team attempts to exploit the design weaknesses or the incidental mechanical advantage of their opponent’s bot. Lessons demonstrate the use of mechanical lifts, nets, drills, ramps and more, to disable or overcome other bots. This is the type of activities our students seem to universally love, and though they may outgrow their love of LEGO® (but don’t count on it), this insight into physics will stay with them forever. For ages 8 and older.

Students will be amazed as they have FUN with
chemistry in this exciting summer camp. Students will make oozy-gooey
slime, watch clear liquids magically change color before their eyes,
make their own eraser and super bouncy ball, invent their own
carbonated drink, make a glowing blue concoction to examine why fire
flies glow, make a dinosaur grow to many times it`s original size, and
many more fun lab experiments. This is a camp that your child won`t
want to miss and will tell all their friends about. Ages 6 and older.
